Folkstone on the Sea
March 2010, by Gini
With our new found freedom, owning a van we took to the roads once more for round two of testing to the south east coast, near Dover. Folkstone to be exact. We managed to see a few sites along the way. First stop was Tom's Mums house in Maidstone on Nursery Road. We think we found the right one! It had been a number of years since Tom had been there.
Our next stop was Rye. A cute little town through some old castle gateways on top of a hill. We bought our first LP record from a kooky Grammar School record shop, climbed the clock tower and marveled at the still standing Tudor houses, 500 years old! and such tiny doors.
We managed to find our campsite, set up for the night over looking the sea. Sunday was a leisurely drive back to London through Canterbury town, had a nice coffee and enjoyed the smaller town shops before taking Smurfy home to London.
Now where to next on our UK van excursions...
